A drivetrain for a vehicle includes a drive motor, an axle differential, and a friction brake. The drive motor is configured to drive the axle differential. The friction brake is positioned in a transmission path between the drive motor and the axle differential, and is configured to generate a braking torque.

Drivetrain for a vehicle

The disclosure relates to a driver assistance method, in which a vehicle performs a driving manoeuvre automatically, and a braking device, in particular a parking brake, is at least partially actuated during the performance of the driving manoeuvre so that a braking action is constantly exerted on the wheels of at least one axle so that a drive of the vehicle operates counter to the braking action of the braking device in order to move the vehicle. According to the disclosure, during the driving manoeuvre at least one operating parameter which is related to an undesired increase in the braking action exerted on at least one wheel is detected and evaluated, and a braking action on at least one wheel is reduced in accordance with the result of said evaluation.

Driver assistance method in which a vehicle performs a driving manoeuvre automatically, and closed-loop and open-loop control device for a braking device of a vehicle

A method for securing a motor vehicle with at least one wheel brake during an automated driving maneuver includes, in order to carry out the automated driving maneuver, setting a hydraulic pressure at the wheel brake in order to generate a defined braking force large enough to securely arrest the motor vehicle during the execution of the automated driving maneuver. The method further includes keeping the hydraulic pressure which is set at the wheel brake essentially constant during the execution of the automated driving maneuver. The method may be implemented in a device.

A method for operating an electric motor for an electric braking device, in particular for an electric parking brake of a vehicle, in particular a motor vehicle, in which the braking device can be put into a first operational state by operation of the electric motor in a first direction of rotation and into a second operational state by operation of the electric motor in a second direction of rotation different from the first direction of rotation, includes determining a quantity which characterizes an internal resistance of the electric motor, comparing the first quantity with a predeterminable first threshold value, controlling the electric motor for a predeterminable first control duration according to the direction of rotation which corresponds to a current operational state of the braking device when the result of the comparison is that the first quantity exceeds the first threshold value.

Method and apparatus for operating an electric motor for an electric braking device

A method for operating a parking brake system includes establishing a parking brake request for a first automated parking brake constructed on a first wheel located on a first side of an axle of a motor vehicle, producing a braking force at the first wheel by activating, in response to the establishing of the parking brake request, the first automated parking brake, and activating a compensation device connecting the first wheel and a second wheel located on a second side of the axle to apply a braking force to the second wheel via the first wheel.

Method and device for operating a parking brake system

A hydraulic brake system for a vehicle includes a master brake cylinder, a hydraulic unit, and multiple wheel brakes. The hydraulic unit Ha at least one brake circuit for modulating the braking pressure in the wheel brakes. At least one wheel brake is paired with a bistable solenoid valve, which is looped into the corresponding fluid channel directly upstream of the paired wheel brake and which enables the braking pressure in the paired wheel brake to be modulated in a de-energized open position and locks the current braking pressure in the paired wheel brake in a de-energized closed position, wherein a volume equalization device which comprises a connectable accumulator opens into the corresponding fluid channel between the bistable solenoid valve and the paired wheel brake.

Hydraulic brake system for a vehicle, and corresponding operating method

A method for performing a parking brake application process in a motor vehicle with a service brake and a parking brake includes combining a hydraulic force component and a mechanical force component to obtain a total clamping force for the parking brake application process. The two force components are combined in each parking brake application process.

Braking mechanism for a motor vehicle, and method for controlling the braking mechanism when different force components are combined

In a method for providing the clamping force generated by a parking brake, the roadway incline is measured and in the case that the roadway incline exceeds a threshold value, a reengagement process is carried out after a defined time period has elapsed.
